Where do you live?  If you're in Skwetna, scouting the area might be a little tough, but if you live on the road system...  There's a gravel road that runs alongside Eklutna Lake and that connects with trails past the end of the lake that go even further up into this area.  It's bike/hike only most of the week, but I believe they allow you to use ATVs for access two days a week.  Check with the Chugach State Park offices - they'll tell you the details.  Anyhow, it's pretty easy to scout this area.  If you can spend a few days here and there you'll be able to get a pretty good feel for the area.  There are some decently easy climbs in there and there are also some brutally tough ones.  The sheep are there, though, so you should at least be able to get some stalks in.  

When you go in make sure to pick up a registration moose permit as well.  It's an archery-only hunt, so since you're bowhunting sheep you may as well keep an eye out for moose on your way in and out.  You never know...   (I believe these dates coincide...though I could be wrong)


Good luck!

-Brian
